Alright, lets get started.

Suppose previously I was selling product per week = x

As per question, I have decreased my average number of product by 15 %

Means I have decreased number of product by : x * 15 % = x * 0.15 = 0.15 x

So, the new average product = x - 0.15 x = 0.85 x

As per given question, the new average product = 21.25

0.85 x = 21.25

Dividing by 0.85 in both sides

0.85 x / 0.85 = 21.25 / 0.85

x = 25

Hence it means, 25 products were selling previuosly. : Answer

Hope it will work :)

So here you are trying to find out what times .30 (30%) subtracted the original price will give you 18.75. Because it is 30% discount you want to use 70% (.7) so that you can find the price before not the price after.

so .7(x) = 18.75

Which you then divide and then get 26.79 dollars.

There are 81 band members.  :-)

4 rows of 20 = 80 ... with one left over   = 80 + 1  (81)
6 rows of 13 = 78 ... with three left over = 78 + 3  (81)
7 rows of 11 = 77 ... with four left over   = 77 + 4  (81)

The center of a hyperbola is located at (0, 0). One focus is located at (0, 5) and its associated directrix is represented by th
Lady bird [3.3K]
For a hyperbola   \dfrac{y^{2}}{a^{2}}-\dfrac{x^{2}}{b^{2}}=1
where   a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2}
the directrix is the line   y=\dfrac{a^{2}}{c}
and the focus is at (0, c).

Here, we have c = 5, a² = 9, so b² = 5² - 9 = 16.
  a = √9 = 3
  b = √16 = 4

Your hyperbola's constants are ...
  a = 3
  b = 4


______
Please note that the equation of a hyperbola has a negative sign for one of the terms. The equation given in your problem statement is that of an ellipse.

Of 360 consumers polled some purchased ice cream some purchase frozen yogurt and some purchased both if 260 people polled purcha
Xelga [282]

Total customers are = 360

Number of polled people who purchased ice cream = 260

Number of polled people who purchased both ice cream and yogurt = 250

Hence, people who purchased only ice cream are=260-250=10

And 360-10=350 are people who purchased yogurt.

So, people who purchased yogurt only = 360-(250+10)=100

My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

12 teachers will get 1/2 sheets each

Step-by-step explanation:

Noor bought 21 sheets of stickers

She gave 1/3 sheets to each 45 students

She wants to give teachers 1/2 of sheets

The question should be: how many teachers will she give

Total sheets=21

Students gets= 1/3 × 45

=45/3

=15 sheets

Remaining sheet= total sheets - students sheets

=21-15

=6 sheets

There are 6 sheets remaining for teachers

She wants to give 1/2 to each teacher

Then,

The number of teachers that will get =Remaining sheets ÷ each teacher's share

=6 ÷1/2

=6 × 2/1

=12 teachers

12 teachers will get 1/2 sheets each
